:shocking: :jawdrop:
zackg, where did that come from! Now we know what you've been workin' on!!!! Amazing, outstanding, superb.... uhm. I'll stop now.
That is from a recent trip I made down to Soulrest to secure my rice shipments. Damn Argonians took to long by road and they are on the verge of being garbage, if you can believe that. I took a ship first from the Imperial City down to Leyawiin and then hoped to take another to Soulrest while hugging the coast off of Topal Bay but before we knew it the entire coast was a swamp and we were right in the middle of it. The crew assured me they could free the ship from the mud in two days time but my Argonian counterpart insisted we move on. "Yessss, they free the ship today only to have Lady Argon sink her tomorrow. We go by foot." he warned. We waded through the wetlands until we came to some native argonian tribeswomen with whom I traded my amulet with for boat passage south, towards Soulrest. I'd say it was 5 hours time before we came across these structures. "Kothringi." the women told me with smug grins. I convinced them to stop to allow me to investigate the ruins. "Itsss no ussse" one said to me, "The passsages inssside are under the sssea now."
We continued on and they dropped me off near a days trip north of Soulrest, far shorter than we had agreed. I'm a businessman, an Imperial adept in speechcraft but even I find it difficult to convince two spears that they haven't lived up to their end. Soulrest was hideous but I couldn't have been more happy to see the ever beautiful imperfection it held. After renting a room and getting rest and a share of peculiar food, I went about my business with my rice, but thats no concern of yours. You will be interested to know though, that I inquired with the townspeople about those ruins and I was helped by a Redguard who told me to see Vicious Argarous in the Dry Foot Inn where he frequents. I met up with him, glad as ever at the sight of another Imperial, and asked him about the structures. Would you believe he told me that before the slime and grit of Argonia infested their every crevice they used to use the wind to turn each section around and around? He told me that the Kothringi, some inferior race as I'm to have it, would tie their fishing boats to the arms you can see jutting out from the "pods" and then dive down and into a door underwater. It all seems like a reach to me but its of little issue, my rice was ruined by the time I reached Gideon. Damn Argonians.
